High time to plan the schedule in detail for the upcoming Stockholm Design Week- there is as usual too much to see and do, yet Stockholm has the advantage of a reasonable size and easy access to venues, so you can cover up pretty much everythhing in the evenings if you work hard on it, apart from the obvious Stockholm Furniture Fair. First I want to invite you of course to the Svensk Form events during the week. Then I want to give you my personal suggestions - and I know that there are still many more that I don't even know about. Together will my collaborators we will try to keep you updated on this blog, on our web sites www.svenskform.se and www.formmagazine.com and on my twitter fruform throughout the week.
